I haven't posted on this forum before, but today marks 1 wee****il my surgery! I've been on Optifast for the past 3 weeks, with 1 more to go!

I can't believe that after a year and a half of waiting, the day is almost here! I'm confident that I have done everything I can to prepare myself and my family.

Anyone have any tips or tricks for getting through this last week without having a nervous breakdown...LOL!

If you have done everything to prepare yourself, then you are ready.

 

What I did is the last two weeks before surgery I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish before surgery.  It included an updated will and power of attorney; cleaning, stocking the fridge, list of things to bring to the hospital, etc.  My surgery was on a Monday so I finished work the Friday before and had the weekend to finalize the last items on my list.

 

Good luck!
